Growth Factors of Protective Gloves Market

The protective gloves market size was valued at USD 25.24 billion in 2023, and the market is now projected to grow from USD 26.34 billion in 2024 to USD 38.11 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period of 2024-2032.

The shift witnessed in the global economy due to COVID-19 impacted some of the industries differently. The market initially faced supply chain bottlenecks, which caused decreases in demand in the building, construction, and manufacturing industries. Nevertheless, the rise in the need for medical and healthcare gloves partially helped stabilize the protective gloves market growth.

Still, working on machines does not eliminate hazards since hands are the most affected body part in the industrialized locations. Medical gloves guard against heat, cold, dermatitis, sicknesses, and sharp items. That is why nowadays the government regulations require the establishment of safety measures to prevent occupational hazards. For example, in the U. S. and Europe, strict norms regulating the workplace are in place; here, the responsibility for workplace safety is enforced from the top management level, with manufacturers adopting precautionary measures. Globally, the governments are enforcing rules to provide security to the people in their workplaces and this has contributed to the rise of the global protective gloves market share.

The manufacturing companies of PPE are commits to more sustainability to mitigating business risks and costs. Now they employ materials of fossil origin like polyethylene, polyester, and polyamide. In the future manufacturers may opt to biopolymers and natural materials like bamboo, linen and hemp. Specifically, sustainability can be highlighted as an excellent quality of bamboo as another material used for PPE.
